Nine-time GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer The-Dream has officially unveiled the music video for his acclaimed new single, “Bring That Body.” The visual arrives alongside the announcement of his highly anticipated forthcoming studio album, Love/Hate II, to be released via RadioKilla Records and Republic Records.
Directed to mirror the smooth, confident energy of the record, the music video places The-Dream inside a sultry, late-night saloon. The sophisticated visual emphasizes seductive lighting and upscale nightlife aesthetics, finding the R&B architect moving with effortless style as he locks eyes with a romantic interest across the room.
Opening with his iconic “Radio Killa” tag, the track establishes its tone immediately, pairing a hypnotic, head-nodding backdrop with The-Dream’s soaring vocal delivery. The song channels classic R&B sensibilities, capturing the palpable tension between lovers with the irresistible hook, “Bring that body over here.”
The release of “Bring That Body” and the announcement of Love/Hate II—arriving nearly two decades after his seminal debut—mark a compelling introduction to the next chapter of The-Dream’s ongoing “Love Saga.”
This new era coincides with major critical recognition of his historical impact. The New York Times recently honored the multi-Diamond-certified artist as one of “The 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters.” The publication highlighted his undeniable influence on the genre, writing: “Name a post-aughts R&B smash, and his imprint is probably on it.” The piece specifically cited his foundational contributions to era-defining hits such as Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” Mariah Carey’s “Touch My Body,” and Justin Bieber’s “Baby.”
With “Bring That Body,” The-Dream reinforces his status not just as an architect of R&B’s past, but as a continuing force in its present and future.
“Bring That Body” is available now on all major digital streaming platforms.
